“As expected, it is absolutely the same as before!”
“Look at that Monarch! He has noticed the expression of that young princess!”
“Then, he will step over and scold them. However, several days later, he is going to betroth the servant girl to the page boy to make the young princess give up her love!”
“Actually, this is quite normal. How could a princess be with a humble page boy!”
All at once, the cultivators standing on the wall of the secret room started to talk about this. It was just like a group of people talking about the plot when they were watching a melodramatic soap opera.
…
At the same time, in the illusionary realm, Xu Que and Zixia Fairy were also surprised. After all, they didn’t know what had happened in this illusionary realm before. When they saw this lovely girl’s disappointed look, they were confused.
“Ahem!”
Suddenly, they heard a sonorous coughing sound. Xu Que and Zixia Fairy turned to the source of the sound and found a majestic middle-aged man was walking toward them slowly.
“Daddy!” The lovely girl said hurriedly, as she lowered her head.
“Hmm!” The middle-aged man nodded his head slightly. Then, he glanced at Xu Que and Zixia Fairy and he frowned. The lovely girl winked and made signs to Xu Que and Zixia Fairy and said anxiously, “Xiao An, Xiao Xiang, you should greet my daddy now!”
“Ah?” Xu Que was shocked. Then, he turned to the middle-aged man and said nervously, “Daddy!”
Swish!
It seemed the air around them was frozen, and the entire area was in a blank silence!
The lovely girl was dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Even Zixia Fairy was shocked.
“What?” Xu Que asked with puzzlement.
“We are humble servants here, and we should address this man as Monarch! This girl is the princess here!” Zixia Fairy reminded Xu Que in a low voice.
These were the memories newly added to her mind after her arrival in this realm. Xu Que didn’t know any of these for he had activated the memory protection function, which could protect his memory and prevent the infiltration of fake memories. But Xu Que was smart enough to realize he had made a mistake.
Hearing Zixia Fairy’s reminder, he stepped out and said, bowing sincerely, “Monarch, please forgive my mistake. Actually I think of you as a great father. Therefore, I couldn’t help but utter my thoughts when I saw your majestic appearance!”
“It’s OK!” The middle-aged man calmed down after hearing his explanation. Then he said indifferently, “Since you said that out of kindness, I’ll forgive you, but it shall not be taken as a precedent! A page boy should always act like a page boy. You should always remember your position here.”
Crap! Xu Que was annoyed immediately. I called you daddy by accident, which should be an honor to you. How dare you disrespect me like that! What do you mean by saying “a page boy should always act like a page boy”? I am the handsome and graceful King of Tough-Acting, how could I be a mediocre page boy?
Just at this moment, the middle-aged man’s face darkened suddenly, and he asked, staring at Xu Que, “Am I clear, Hua An?”
“Stop your non…what? Wait! What did you call me just now?”
Xu Que was about to answer him, but he was shocked when the middle-aged man called his name.
Hua An?
Damn! Isn’t this the code name of Tang Bohu, when he pretended to be a family servant?
Does this mean I am Tang Bohu here?
Xu Que was enlightened. He didn’t figure it out when the young princess called him Xiao An and called Zixia Fairy Xiao Xiang just now. However, when the middle-aged man called him Hua An, he figured it out immediately.
I am Hua An; does this mean Zixia Fairy is Qiu Xiang?
He couldn’t believe that and started to look around. They were in a lavishly decorated antique monarch’s mansion. Moreover, everyone here were ordinary people without any cultivation achievements, including himself. However, there was something that was different with the story of Tang Bohu that he knew about. For example, in the movie Flirting Scholar, Tang Bohu came to the family of the Grand Tutor Hua and married Qiu Xiang, who was one of the servant girls of the Hua Family. But now he was a page boy in a monarch’s mansion.
This must be a coincidence! Xu Que felt quite embarrassed himself. However, his words and reaction aroused suspicion from the little princess and the Monarch. Zixia Fairy was also looking at him with a curious expression.
“Joker, what are you doing? Haven’t you got some new memories yet? Your name here is Hua An, and you are a page boy. My name is Ming Xiang, and I am a servant girl!” Zixia Fairy reminded Xu Que again in a low voice.
Xu Que finally realized it was really a coincidence!
“Hua An, are you going to defy my order?” The Monarch was totally annoyed and started to stare at Xu Que angrily.
Seeing that, the young princess shouted hurriedly, “Daddy, Hua An doesn’t mean that. He spent the whole night finding the materials to make a kite for me. He must be too exhausted to remember the etiquette!”
After saying that, she shouted at Xu Que anxiously, “Hua An, you should kneel down and ask for forgiveness from my daddy!”
Ask for forgiveness? That will never happen!
Xu Que sneered in his heart and was about to act overbearingly tough. However, the Monarch said suddenly, “I am going to meet the Emperor and don’t want to waste my time with you. Guards, lock Hua An in the woodshed!”
After saying that, he stormed out angrily.
…
At the same time, the cultivators on the wall of the secret room were watching the scene calmly as if they had already known the plot would develop in this way.
“Like before, they still had some memories. The man offended the Monarch, so he was locked in the woodshed!”
“Luckily, the young princess was smart. She acted coquettishly in front of her father to beg him to release him later.”
“But they were trapped in trouble after that. After setting him free, the Monarch betrothed the servant girl to him. The young princess cried miserably, which was even heartbreaking for me!”
“Nonsense, it is just an illusionary image!”
“Alas, that’s why the illusionary realm is horrible! Even an outsider was trapped in its plot, let alone those insiders!”
“What? Wait! Look at that guy, what is he going to do?”
While the onlookers were talking about the scene, someone exclaimed as he pointed at the image. The rest of the people looked up and were completely dumbfounded by the scene. They found Xu Que was talking tough in front of four family servants who were trying to lock him in the woodshed.
“Let me tell you the two most hated things in my life. First, someone points a gun at my head; second, someone tries to lock me in a woodshed. Don’t do anything stupid, or I will demolish this monarch’s mansion!”
Xu Que’s overbearing words came in from the image, which dumbfounded the onlookers.
“My God! Is he insane?”
“I guess he still thinks he is a cultivator in the illusionary realm!”
“He is just an ordinary person in the illusionary realm! What makes him so bold?”
“I’m afraid he will be beaten up!”
The onlookers shook their heads.
…
At this time, in the monarch’s mansion in the illusionary realm, Zixia Fairy, the young princess, and the four family servants were totally shocked by Xu Que’s words. For Zixia Fairy and the young princess, Xu Que was not a person like that, no matter if he was the Joker or Hua An!
“Joker, what are you doing?”
“Xiao An, are you OK?”
Zixia Fairy and the young princess asked with puzzlement almost at the same time. Xu Que ignored the young princess. He walked to Zixia Fairy and said in a low voice to her, “Lady Azi, I have a method to break this spell! So, please trust me no matter what I am going to do next, OK?”
He has a method to break this spell?
Hearing that, Zixia Fairy was totally shocked. It was quite difficult for her to believe a young man at the Golden Core Stage could break this powerful spell! However, when she recalled Xu Que broke the Chessboard Sea Spell before this, she didn’t hesitate anymore. So, she nodded immediately and said, “OK, I trust you, Joker! Just do whatever you want to do!”
“OK!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then, he fixed his eyes on the four family servants. The next moment, he waved his hand to take out a black cylinder! It was a modern weapon. Several black muzzles were pointing at the family servants.
“Guys, now it is the time for plunder! All men stand on the left and women on the right! Then, you should squat down and put your hands behind your heads, or you will taste the lethal power of my Gatling gun! Hey, you, why are you still motionless? Haven’t you seen a Gatling gun before? It is featured with rapid fire and blue muzzle flash!”
